The way points of this bicycle route:

Pick up the Chedoke radial trail (good quality gravel surface) at the south end of Dundurn

Use caution here -- they are teeing off to your right, and some won't hesitate.

Use caution at this blind corner -- I ring my bell on approach

Nice view from the lookout -- stop and stretch your legs if necessary

follow the path to the right instead of heading up to Scenic Drive

This stretch can be mucky after a lot of rain

caution on the loose gravel

Dismount and descend the stairs

Bike lane starts here

Nice descent starts here

The gravel road the right is not bad, though it has some steep sections

Gear down here -- when you see the 10 km/h sign, there's a steep hill around the corner!

The Hamilton-Brantford rail trail is another nice way to get back into town

Cruise back to town on Governors if you want, or head up Binkley for some fun!
